Default Realism vs \"Winning\"

I would like to throw out a question for discussion. Especially in campaigns - how many of you select your forces based on what is historically accurate rather that what will make winning easier? For example, taking Mk IVs instead of Panthers or A9s instead of Matildas.

Do you differentiate between core and support by getting the good kit for your boys but being more accurate when it comes to the support troops? For example, Wittmann like Tiger truppen supported by a mass of Volksgrenadiers.

I try to be historically accurate but often can't resist adding in a couple of goodies - especially after my core troops have fought well.

Just curious,
